Dillon Manufacturing full-grip pie jaws deliver stronger clamping and reduced part distortion!
Dillon Manufacturing has introduced its full-grip pie jaws, designed to provide maximum contact area and reliable clamping performance across a wide range of machining applications. Engineered for strength, precision and versatility, these jaws help manufacturers achieve better grip, improved accuracy and reduced part deformation during operations. A key advantage of Dillon’s full-grip jaws is their construction from 6061 extruded aluminum bar stock. Unlike cast components, which may contain internal porosity, extruded aluminum offers a denser and more uniform structure. This results in higher strength, improved reliability and enhanced safety during machining operations, particularly in high-speed or high-load environments. The design
